@DJ:

There is an EZ-Script bug:

script to reproduce the bug:

Code:

$pressed=false
$pressed=!$pressed
if ($pressed)
  #correct
  print("true")
else
  print("false")
endif

#generates:
#Error on line nn: Missing String Quotes or Invalid Expression at index 0: !  
$pressed=!$pressed
if ($pressed)
  print("true")
else
  print("false")
endif

@Rbonari,

Change your code to:

Code:

if ($Pressed)
  # High Beams On
  Set(D17,ON)
  Set(D19,ON)
  $Pressed=0
ELSE
  # High Beams Off
  Set(D17,OFF)
  Set(D19,OFF)
  $Pressed=1
endif

Note: Spaces between Set and ( generates a parser error.

@PTP

Thanks much, I will give this a go. In my mobile app script I don't have a space between Set and ( but thanks for the reminder. Rick

Use the Blockly interface to learn how to use ez-script. Click on the word Blockly in this message to read about it. Do not put spaces between brackets and commands, that is not correct syntax. Please read the EZ-Script manual, examples are provided. Blockly also provides examples.

Code:

if ($pressed = true)

  set(D0, true)
  $pressed = false

else

  set(D0, false)
  $pressed = true

endif

Thanks PTP, that works great. I have two other buttons that I want to do the same thing with but they don't work at all. I use the same exact code but different sets of leds but no go. I put the following code in the connect script for the second and third buttons:

Code:

$Pressed1=0
$Pressed2=0

Do I need to name these button variables with a unique name for each, other than Pressed? Thanks much...Rick

@PTP

Evidently it is invalid to have variables $Pressed, $Pressed1, etc. When I changed the variable names to $Pressed, $Highbeams and $Taillights all three buttons worked as advertised. Normally $Pressed, $Pressed1 and $Pressed2 would be considered valid variables. Any thoughts on this. This appears not to be the case with ez-script? Thanks again...Rick

@rbonari,

No problem with variables ending in numbers, must be something else.

Example project:
test_buttons.EZB

1) Start the init script
2) press the buttons and listen the press state on your desktop speakers.

@PTP

Thanks PTP. I will give it a try and keep you posted....Rick

@PTP

I tried again and included $Pressed, $Pressed1 and $Pressed2 in my connection script and the three mobile app buttons are working. Not sure why it didn't work yesterday. I was wondering if it has something to do with the variables being initialized in the connection script rather than a startup script. What is the difference between connection startup script and a separate startup script. Seems that the connection startup script is the best way to go as the script is run automatically on connection. Your thoughts are appreciated....Rick

@PTP

How do I give you credit for answereing this thread? Thanks again....Rick

You can't... the thread is not a "require technical assistance" type thread. It is a plain conversation thread ...

@Richard

Thanks much for the clarification....Rick
